I'm surprised that hughes and st. Pierre aren't getting more.
Sure, Lidell is a big name, but is he worth five times as much as hughes?

What you have to understand is that a fighter is guaranteed a certain amount for the fight and if he wins, his guaranteed purse is doubled. For instance, had Lidell lost, he would've only made 250k, and Silva would've made 300k. Lidell and Silva's guaranteed purses being 250k and 150k, respectively. Same applies all the way to the bottom, which is why you see those guys making 3k and 6k.
